Introducing Zero The programming language for agents. I wanted a systems language that was faster, smaller, and easier for agents to use and repair. Explicit capabilities. JSON diagnostics. Typed safe fixes. Made for agents on day zero.

99.8% of bun’s pre-existing test suite passes on Linux x64 glibc in the rust rewrite

@aksiksi @glcst I know people who actively work on extremely complex c++ codebases, that have a large number of runtime crashes, and still prefer it over rust. I really don't get that mindset.

The people who don’t get Rust either: a) have never worked on a large and complex C or C++ codebase or b) have never seriously tried out Rust. The former teaches you how easy it is to shoot yourself in the foot. And no, runtime checks (or analyzers like Valgrind), static analyzers, and tests are never enough. The latter helps you understand exactly what practical guarantees you get with Rust.

Feeling vindicated. That's why we started Turso in Rust, not zig. Zig has a lot of advantage and we seriously considered it. At the end of the day we felt that for something to match the reliability of SQLite, every bit helps. And memory safety would come in handy
Jarred Sumner@jarredsumner

why: I am so tired of worrying about & spending lots of time fixing memory leaks and crashes and stability issues. it would be so nice if the language provided more powerful tools for preventing these things.

@jarredsumner I had Claude segfault before. I assumed it was something I did wrong for some reason but I guess it was legitimate.

@mitsuhiko The changes are just things useful for Bun. Address sanitizer, private fields, parallel compilation, and some LLVM backend improvements

@headinthebox Opus 4.7 is particularly bad at it (along with everything else). I tell it to estimate in terms of LOC instead of time and it helps, though it still sometimes does timeframes.

WTF is Claude Code suddenly concerned about projects taking 1-2 days, or weeks, when it can generate the code in seconds/minutes. You would expect the road to AGI is monotonically increasing, certainly not weird regressions like this.

@bcherny Opus 4.7 is really bad, even after the post-mortem. I am going back to 4.6. Please do not remove 4.6 as an option, I will switch to Codex immediately.

Separately, we’ve also heard reports of issues with Opus 4.7 in Claude Code. The team is working on those and we’ll share more as we roll out improvements over the coming days.

Even after the supposed fix to Claude code, opus 4.7 seems substantially worse than 4.6. Is it just me?

@xwanyex Again, never could have done this so quickly and so thoroughly without LLMs.

@xwanyex But to the point of 100x productivity -- it self hosts. It can compile itself, all ~80k lines of code. It was able to do that in a month or two of work in my spare time.

@xwanyex I imagined a language I wanted, TypeScript that runs as fast as Rust. And it came into existence: a TS to LLVM compiler. Never could have done it w/o LLMs. github.com/cs01/ChadScript

some of the most satisfying things claude says: "Background command completed: Exit code 0" "Found it!" "🎯 ROOT CAUSE CONFIRMED!"

Introducing Claude Opus 4.7, our most capable Opus model yet. It handles long-running tasks with more rigor, follows instructions more precisely, and verifies its own outputs before reporting back. You can hand off your hardest work with less supervision.
